Hello Youth Coach,

There are so many people who work with and or care for young people yet are so frustrated with their efforts to make any positive difference in the lives of the young people they genuinely care for (dare we say love)

 

Imagine being able to access and use tools that the most effective coaches who work with celebrities and large corporate organisations are using and being paid handsomely for, because they work.

Imagine being able to utilise these to support your young people to reconnect/ create and realise their aspirations

 

This course was created following the murder of a 15 year old boy in East London, UK in 2001. The whole of the year 11 group pioneered a personal and community development process to support each other during such a challenging period, led by Harry Singha, Chairman and Co founder of the Academy

One young boy of 15 asked Harry how he could become a coach.

 

This inspired Harry to create a course which, would cover everything that other life coaching courses had and add to it the essentials for coaching young people under 18

 

Harry dedicated the next three months to create that course. The Youth Coaching Course (YCC) was born, it was awarded a level 3 accreditation by the Open College Network (OCN), the highest level for any coaching course!

 

 

There have been a few versions since then as we continue to add value both in the content and delivery. 

 

There are now two routes to study the Youth Coaching Course via either:

•    Live training five days residential - £3,997    

[£2,497 for the non residential programmes]

•     The Home Study Programme  - £1,497


 

 

What is Youth Coaching

Simply put it is the medium for facilitating the expression of young people’s potential via the use of cutting edge and ancient wisdom personal development tools. Youth Coaching is now becoming recognised as one of the most effective ways to support young people. Coaching increases self-awareness, improves relationships, boosts emotional intelligence and encourages individuals to find their own solutions. The DFES and the National College for School Leadership are producing literature on the evidence of coaching in youth establishments. The governments transforming youth work agenda clearly states the requirement for youth services to carry accreditation and hence anyone considering coaching young people within educational or youth establishments may not get a look in without it.

Who will be on the course and why should you?

The course is designed for anyone who has a passion for supporting young people and will have a diversity of participants.

With the added value of an external accreditation with the Open College Network you will be ahead of your competitors as the governments transforming youth work agenda clearly stipulates the need for accreditation.
